alright, got the Nikon Prostaff 3x9x40, in camo with the BDCompensator on it. first i went and shot some new ammo through the gun with the redhead scope still on it, i wanted to change ammo anyway, got 58 grain hornady but at 50 yards (bass pro indoor range makes you start at 50) i shot 4 rounds, yup group the size of a baseball not good. took the redhead scope off, put on the new Nikon (bass pro gave me $$$ back).
so, the best i could get was at the end of zeroing about a 2 inch group which i am happy with. honestly though at 50 yards if my group isnt tighter than that it's me, and i am sure the Rossi isnt the most accurate gun, a single shot at that.
so i am def happy with the scope, thanks for the recommendations guys. going coyote hunting wed when the wind stops blowing from the north, pretty excited bout that.
